Maternity Support

A large part of your care will be carried out by your midwife. You will see the midwife at an early stage in your pregnancy for a booking appointment, when you will be given a lot of information about antenatal care, blood tests, scans and preparing for parenthood. Please contact the midwifery service soon after you have found out that you are pregnant.

The location of your midwife will depend on where you live . All pregnant ladies are asked to ring the centralised booking team on 0117 3420850 or email bookings.midwife@nbt.nhs.uk

Please note that unless there is a valid reason, we advise that all children should have the complete course of recommended immunisations. If your child is not immunised, then as well as a risk to themselves, they may pose a risk to other children as they may be a carrier for these diseases.

VACCINATION SCHEDULE

 

Cervical Smears - The Essential Cancer Screening program by the NHS

All women aged between 25 - 64 will be automatically invited for smear tests (cervical cytology) every 3-5 years to attend. The smears are normally undertaken by the practice nurse by appointment. Results are usually available after 3 weeks.

Cervical Screening is not a test for diagnosing cervical cancer. It is a test to check the health of the cervix, which is the lower part of the womb. For many women the tests results show that everything is fine. But for 1 in 10 women, the test shows changes in the cells that can be caused by many things. Most of these changes will not lead to cancer.

Cervical cancer can often be prevented. The signs that it may develop can be spotted early on by a cervical smear, so it can be stopped before it gets started.
